The bar was raided by police and the excise department. The pub owner and manager were arrested — they got bail — while the students were let off after being warned not to violate liquor laws again.All the students reportedly belonged to a Gurgaon school, and the host was the son of a senior bureaucrat.The decision to make CCTV cameras compulsory was taken at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Gurgaon police commissioner Alok Mittal.
